Jeremy Dufour, project manager for South East Water, said: “This major investment was essential to keep taps flowing in Cooksbridge. Burst pipes not only cause inconvenience to our customers who go without water, but they are disruptive to local residents, businesses and road users while we undertake repairs.

“I would like to thank the local community for their patience and understanding while we carried out this critical pipe replacement.”
